Making a difference: Baxter Credit Union

Baxter Credit Union recently donated more than 1,000 books to first- and second-grade students at Nelson-Wilks-Herron Elementary School. Shown are some of the students with the book. The books were purchased using money raised by the organization as part of BCU's Companies that Care fundraising initiatives. A total of $2,900 was raised through several fundraising efforts. The teachers and staff at Nelson-Wilks-Herron Elementary have many ideas for the use of the books, one of which will be to serve as the monthly 'Do Right' awards for students. The school also plans to use the books for many other special awards and recognitions. This year marks the eighth consecutive year that BCU has been named to the Companies That Care annual initiative.
